Can You Vote For Diz, Please?
I don't even know if this competition will accept overseas votes, but if it can I'd appreciate it. And UK Dwellars - please?
It's a competition to win catfood for a year.
It's not a scam or an urban legend, it's a cat competition run by a major supermarket, with support from Whiskas (catfood). Of course they get the publicity, which is what it's all about.
Follow
this link to vote him 5 stars of cuteness.
And he is the cutest anyway, so I'm not asking you to lie or nuffink.
If I win I'll post a picture of my pussy to thank you.
I have successfully voted for teh Dizmeister.
Voted from each of the 5 computers in the lab :D.
So it be written, so it be done.
It appears to accept votes as long as the cookies are cleared between submitting. ;)

you can also rate other cats, not that I would condone tearing down other entrants just so that Diz does better.
done
will try to remember from wurk when I'm next there, too!
Thanks y'all.
My cockles are duly warmed.
K. I've voted on my pc and my laptop. I've sent links to mum and J as well to try and get them to vote. Not sure, I'll need to check, but J might be able to do more than one vote. I don't think he has a static IP.
DIZ is in da house!
Voted!
Voted for Diz, who is clearly the cutest cat on there, gave me something to take my mind off the pain.
...gave me something to take my mind off the pain.
right. And the vicoden. rub it in, chick. Rub it IN.
I don't see any rules. Does it say somewhere you can only vote once per IP?
I wonder if they would even bother to log IPs for this, probably just happy with the traffic.
I tried voting for him twice and it told me, "He may be cute, but you can only vote once".
clear your cookies and try again?
mumble mumble [SIZE="1"][COLOR="Silver"]I don't know how to do that[/COLOR][/SIZE] :shame:
Click tools (somewhere on your toolbar I think) and go to bottom of drop down to Internet Options. Go to the Privacy tab (I think its that not security. it may be different on XP, can't recall). There should be an option on there to clear cookies :)
I voted a few times without clearing cookies. Maybe because I was not logged in. SG probably had to log in to enter the picture and the cookies probably log her in automatically.
This is what it looks like in XP.
I tried to vote again right away, and got the "oh no you don't" message. Just now I cleared the cookies and tried again...still wouldn't let me. I did the complete delete of browsing history, temp internet files, etc...and it let me vote again!
took awhile... but I have been able to vote a few more times.
He's moved from page 9 of the cutest to page 7.
I have only been allowed to vote once. How are you guys voting more than once? I cleared cookies and temp files and everything.
"The cutest ever!"
sugarpop: close the browser. wait a little while... a minute? more? try try again. I'm up to about twenty.
Page 6 now.
hm
can't find where you're tracking this. li'l help please?
Sort by popularity, on the top right. If you click through, you'll find Diz on page 6.

good for you! I've just tried again and got the "you can't vote more than once" thang. Maybe cos you're a furriner?
Page 5 out of 256. :cool:
Just so you know what I'm playing for:
First prize is a year’s supply of Whiskas® cat food. This will consist of either: 100 Packs of Whiskas® 12 pack Pouches, OR, 60 packs of Whiskas® 12 pack Pouches and 6 packs of Whiskas® Complete 950g, OR 30 packs of Whiskas® 12 pack Pouches and 12 packs of Whiskas® Complete 950g, OR 75 packs of Whiskas® 6 pack Cans (any varieties). The first prize winner can select the food making up the prize from the above options. The runner’s up prize is a year's supply of Whiskas® Temptations, consisting of 52 packs (any varieties).
And we still have plenty of time apparently:
The first prize will be awarded to the entrant submitting the photograph receiving the highest number of votes on the image gallery between 06/04/09 and 13/05/09. The runners-up prize will be awarded to the photograph receiving the second highest number of votes. In the event that two or more photographs receive an equal number of votes, the Promoter will draw the winner at random from all photographs receiving the same number of votes.
Many, many thanks to you voting - this is less abput the prize, and more about having a shot at winning. I know that sounds wrong, but you know how much I love the little critter.
If I win I'll post a picture of my pussy to thank you.
:eek: Paging Johnny Carson and Zsa Zsa Gabor!!
I voted from home & from work!
I keep getting this now.
Sorry! I may be really cute, but you can only vote for me once.
done. soon he'll be a page 3 cat :eek:
He does have cute nipples, I must say.
havin trouble with more votes....
grrr
yep.... it cut me off also.
Voted, once from IE, once from Firefox and once from Opera.
Will do again from work
I voted once from work the other day, have to see if that will work again.
He's still on page 4 of popular, but he's the first one on the page!
I shall keep trying to vote.
They've got me blocked from home and work, but I sent out an email appeal. Page 3.
I just got 2 more in . . . Bottom page 3!
I have voted for Diz everyday. Diz is cute.
Well dammit. I have only been allowed to vote ONCE. grrr
got another dozen in today.
it appears to track a combination of ip address and time, in a cookie
got two in from the puter at work. ...& then....
hey, SG....... is this cheating?

:lol:
No, of course not. You go to heaven for things like this.
Thanks lots, it's a great idea!
Only moved up one more spot though. We need heavy artillery. wonder if we could persuade the PD troll away team to consider a charitable mission?
I was able to get one in from work today but I'm completely shut down at home. Cleared cookies and even went to Morrison's directly, bypassing SG's link, but no luck. :(
Have discovered that clearing cookies works if you close the link down before doing so and then go into it again fresh. I just voted 25 times in a row *grins*
He's on page 3. We really need to hit this hard guys. I'll pledge to do at least anbother 20 votes across today. Who else is going to pledge and how many?
I have cleared cookies and temp files and everything and still only been able to vote once. *pout*
So has "our boy" moved up any?
When does this end? My blatent whoring got Diz about 1 extra voters, but I see he's down a place :(
Yeah, not good. :( Everytime a new cat goes up they get a flurry of votes.
I've been able to slip in one or two from work by clearing cookies, but completely shut out at home.
Voting ends on the 13th - five days.
Or to be on the safe side - four.
Thanks to the efforts of all the people who have voted so far.
If anyone can manage a few more I would be very grateful.
Hey, even if he doesn't win, at least he didn't languish on the last page for the whole comp :)
I've just voted 10 times. I'll do some more shortly.
I got three in, but it takes a while to log in and out of my comp at work then clear cookies, cache....
I'll hit 'em up again in the afternoon.
CheesenRice, I just gave Diz about 20 votes and he didnt move up at all.
done agane but he's still there on page 3 (:eek:) (UK reference)
